Jeremiah 30

God sheweth Jeremiah the return of the Jews.

Jeremiah 30:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, saying: Jeremiah 30:2 Thus, speaketh Yahweh, God of Israel, saying,Write thee all the words which I have spoken unto thee, in a scroll; Jeremiah 30:3 For lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, Saith Yahweh,and will bring them back into the land which I gave to their fathers, that they might possess it.

After their trouble they shall have deliverance.

Jeremiah 30:4 Now, these, are the words which Yahweh hath spoken against Israel and against Judah: Jeremiah 30:5 Yea, thus, saith Yahweh, A voice of trembling, have we heard, Dread, and not welfare! Jeremiah 30:6 Ask, I pray you, and see, whether a male, travaileth with child! Why, have I seen, Every man with his hands upon his loins, like a woman in travail, and, Every face turned into ghastliness? Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for, great, is that day, so that none is like it,Yea, a time of anguish, it is, for Jacob, But out of it, shall he be saved. Jeremiah 30:8 And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will break his yoke from off thy neck, And, thy bonds, will I tear off,And foreigners, shall use him as a slave no more; Jeremiah 30:9 But they shall serve Yahweh their God,and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

He comforteth Jacob.

Jeremiah 30:10 Thou, therefore, do not fear, O my Servant Jacob, Urgeth Yahweh, Neither be thou dismayed, O Israel, For, behold me! saving thee from afar, And thy seed out of the land of their captivity,Then shall Jacob return, and rest and be quiet, And there shall be none to make him afraid; Jeremiah 30:11 For, with thee, am I, Declareth Yahweh, To save thee,Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, Yet, will I not, of thee, make an end, But will chastise thee in measure, not holding thee, guiltless! Jeremiah 30:12 For, Thus, saith YahwehIncurable, is thine injury,Grievous, is thy wound: Jeremiah 30:13 There is none, to plead thy cause, for binding thee up,Healing bandages, hast thou none: Jeremiah 30:14 All thy lovers, have forgotten thee, Thyself, do they not seek,For, With the wounding of an enemy, have I wounded thee, With the correction of one who is cruel, Because of the abounding of, thine iniquity, [Because] numerous, have been thy sins. Jeremiah 30:15 Why, shouldst thou make outcry over thine injury, Incurable, is thy pain? Because of the abounding of thine iniquity, [Because] numerous, have been thy sins, Have I done these things unto thee. Jeremiah 30:16 Therefore, all who devour thee, shall be devoured, And, all thine adversariesall of them, into captivity, shall depart,So shall, they who plundered thee, be plundered, And, all who preyed upon thee, will I deliver up as a prey. Jeremiah 30:17 For I will put a bandage upon thee, And, from thy wounds, will I heal thee, Declareth Yahweh,Because, An outcast, they called thee, 'Tis, Zion! who hath, none to ask for her welfare.

Their return shall be gracious.

Jeremiah 30:18 Thus, saith YahwehBehold me! bringing back the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And, on his habitations, will I have compassion,So shall the city be built, upon her own mound, And, the citadel, upon its own site, shall remain: Jeremiah 30:19 So shall there proceed from them, thanksgiving, and, The sound of them who make merry,And I will multiply them, and they shall not become few, And will make them honourable, and they shall not be despised: Jeremiah 30:20 And, his sons, shall come to be, as aforetime, And, his assembly, before me, shall continue,And I will bring punishment on all his oppressors; Jeremiah 30:21 And, his illustrious one, shall spring, from himself, And, his ruler, from his own midst, shall proceed, And I will bring him near, and he shall approach unto me,For who is, there that hath pledged his own heart to approach unto me? Demandeth Yahweh: Jeremiah 30:22 So shall ye become my, people; And, I, will become your, God.

Wrath shall fall on the wicked.

Jeremiah 30:23 Lo! the tempest of Yahweh! Indignation, hath come forth, A tempest rolling itself upward,Upon the head of the lawless ones, shall it hurl itself down! Jeremiah 30:24 The fierceness of the anger of Yahweh will, not turn back, Until he hath executed, nor, Until he hath established, The purposes of his heart,In the afterpart of the days, shall ye understand it.
